Miserable lunch today. Atmosphere quiet and drab Italian with bright glaring window light. Waiter showing off his loud overdramatic voice. Thirty minutes wait for food in an almost empty restaurant. Bread not baked enough, you know, pinch it and it turns into dough again. Small fast food plastic cup for oil bread dip. Manicotti with not quite baked pasta (not completely thawed?) Thin thin tomato sauce that was anemic at best. Pizza had poor quality too thin pepperoni and the pizza lacked spice of any kind, especially oregano. One of the best locations in town, parking a little tight. There are too many good Italian lunch places to bother going back. read more

It was surprisingly delicious, cozy very inviting and relaxing you couldn't tell from the outside. I had bring several friends since our first time read more

Food and service was excellent. First time at this location. Good variety to chose from in food but no wine list was offered. The ambiance would have gotten an excellent but a family with a screaming child ruined most of our dinner. Instead of eating quickly or boxing up the food the parents were totally unconcerned about others. A small child wandered around getting in the waiter's way. Hot food was being carried in that space and made everyone but the parents nervous. We will return but folks please control your children!! read more

What a great place. It has the feel of a soda shop but they have great pizza. The staff is super friendly and Ed the owner makes sure everything comes out perfect. Crispy traditional homemade crust. Plenty of cheese and no skimping on toppings here. read more

Volare Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Sooo good! This place had one of the best chicken Marsalas ever! I highly recommend coming to this place for authentic food!!

Good Italian food. Small local place, but full for lunch on a Friday. Wine menu. Limited parking. Nice gelato. Specialty of the house Lobster ravioli was amazing! read more

This is my third week having Paella at Volare. It is exquisite. I can't have enough. I am kind of glad it is only available once a week, or I would be very fat. I highly recommend it. read more

Excellent authentic Italian cuisine, at Volare, where Gallo sings the theme song as he provides lively music on Weds and Fri evenings. Good wine complements excellent Veal Marsala at reasonable prices. Reservations recommended.for Weds and Fri nights when The Maestro plays Flamenco and Sinatra classics and his fans linger over pasta and tiramisu. George recommends A glass of wine to sustain the musical contribution to an enjoyable dining experience, that exceeds the beneficial products once dispensed in this former historic pharmacy. read more

Ok so second burnt pizza in a row. Not sure what is happening at Volare, but quality control is suffering. When I got home, I was surprised that they even boxed and gave me that pizza. It is a shame, I was a big fan. read more

Picked up a pizza and some pasta today for dinner. The pizza smelled so good, my son took out a piece and ate it on the way home. Delicious, crisp crust. Sauce and cheese were a beautiful combination. Alfredo fettuccine with chicken was superb. Just enough homemade sauce with freshly grilled chicken. Not in my neighborhood, but definitely worth the drive. read more

So happy to have found this place for pizza. Just moved here from LA and was looking for a good takeout joint. Their veggie is really good and their crust is rustic and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

This is a great small italian food pizza spot the bread with garlic butter is fantastic. The pizza varieties are delicious. I've been coming on an off since the 2000s on of my favorite items of the past was the mama meatball a closed Stromboli like pocket. And all though I miss the their Broadway spot and the McCullough spot is hit or miss this is still the best pizza spot in San antonio in my opinion. read more

As a local resident I would highly recommend this place to all other locals and visitors. This has to be one of my favorite restaurants, I've been here about 3 times and try something different every time. I always start with the meatballs as an appetizer. They are a good size and enough to share for two. Absolutely delicious. Pasta is good as well as the pizza. Finish off with their gelato, they have many flavors to choose from..soo good. Tiramasu is my favorite flavor. Ok so the best part about this place is its BYOB! Last time I went they offered complimentary wine..wasn't too Crazy about the taste of their free wine, I usually bring my own bottle. My favorite dish so far is the meatballs. I highly recommend this place, cute little spot right near the historic Monte vista district. Staff is friendly and i always enjoy the live music. Give it a try. read more

First time going to new place on McCullough at the site of historic pharmacy. They made good use of the inside and fountain. Had music and ambiance great for Friday night out. I love the pizza with bubble up slightly burnt crust. Good. Other Italian dishes looked good too. Tables set with water and wine glass. Quite an upgrade from their other location. Staff plenteous and attentive. I made online reservations requesting time and my order. It was served soon after arriving so we waited just a few minutes after the server brought condiments, drink and pizza rack up. Worked out great.' read more

Finally tried Volare after driving past it multiple times, and it did not disappoint! A little expensive, but well worth it. The cheese ravioli was a perfect portion size, and the sauce was so flavorful. The lasagna classico was very cheesy and filling! Not pictured was vodka sauce pasta, which had incredible sauce. One of the best vodka sauces I have ever tried! The complementary bread was also very good and you could tell it was freshly baked! Will be going back soon read more

Best pizza in all of San Antonio. Maybe even all of Texas although I haven't eaten every pizza in the state. The crust reminds me of those pizzas you get on cruise ships so light and yummy. They use top notch ingredients including real mozzarella cheese. Do yourself a favor and look these people up and treat yourself to a great meal. My wife got a Caesar salad and Chicken Gorgonzola Pasta. It was so good according to her ( she only allowed me to taste one piece of pasta) that she kept umming all throughout her meal. We are very happy to have found this place and till we move on from here in May we will be going back many more times. Well Done! I also would like to shout out to Katharine our wait staff person. This young lady was running all over making sure her customers had what they needed. Always with a great smile even though you know she was stressed to be everywhere at the same time. It was much appreciated that she was willing to be working so hard never complaining. If you go to have a great meal ask for her and remember to give her a big tip. read more

This pizza place is delicious. Ordered the 4 cheese pizza and that was our favorite. Also ordered the cheese sticks for appetizer and they were good plus the marinara sauce was very good. Will definitely order from them again. read more

OMG! I ordered the 7$ Ceasar Salad (take out) I swear, their Ceasar Salad is the BEST I've ever eaten! If you're ordering for 2? You better order two of them because you will not want to share this salad. AMAZING read more

Really fresh and delicious Italian food. Super cute quaint seating. Friendly welcoming staff. So far tried chicken Marsala, chicken Alfredo and the calamari. All were really good. read more

My fiancé and I decided to come here tonight after passing the restaurant last weekend. Exquisite! The vodka sauce was creamy, savory & absolutely amazing. His calzone was a small but was still large! The mozzarella was fresh and the crust was like heaven!! The merlot I ordered paired perfectly with my dish and the ambiance was charming! read more

Visited this place for the first time yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. Very clean environment, nice staff, and everyone is fast and efficient. The bruschetta, caesar salad, and pepperoni pizza I got were absolutely fresh and mouth watering. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Best pizza i ever had, quattro formaggio and adding your favorite topping is the way to go if you are a cheese lover like me, nice place, clean and kind servers will be coming back for sure. read more

Volare Restaurant - Quattro formaggio with pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tried this for the first time and I was less than impressed. Our waitress wasn't rude but she wasn't very friendly either. Did not even tell us of the specials or try to recommend certain items as this was our first time. I had a caesar salad and Fettuccine Alfredo. The caesar dressing was weak and I could not taste it. They don't have any peppermills either. The Fettuccine Alfredo sauce was very thin and did not have a lot of flavor. Their little if no parmesan cheese which could have thickened the sauce. The noodles did not taste homemade. I did try some of my colleagues pizza and the crust tasted great. read more

This pizza was mmm and scrumptious the staff was awesome and helpful thank for the cook he was a great cook. I'm sure I'm coming back again thank's volare. read more

We stopped in yesterday for dinner after a long day, girl behind counter says sit anywhere you like. We are heading to a table when another girl comes darting out of the kitchen waving her hand, asking are you here to pick up an order? We say no, she says, sorry we are not seating anymore. We ask why?! She says they are getting ready to close! We say it's 7:40pm, you close at 8! She says sorry, we are only taking carry out. She was rude and no manager was on duty to speak to! We called to speak to a manager today, left 2 messages, no call back. Talk about really poor service!! We have eaten there before, food was decent, but we won't be back! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. Mind blowing, mouth watering, amazing. the lunch specials are so amazing! RECOMMEND

A great place to eat fresh pizza. The Suprema Pizza was to die for, fresh vegetables and fresh meats. The crust was great and tasty. The restaurant was very nice, they even practiced COVID-19 PPE precautions that you still enjoyed your meal. Our server was very attentive to us and very nice. I recommend this restaurant. read more

Volare embarrassed themselves. That's the best way to describe our treatment. Initially, we were excited to try the restaurant! That quickly changed. No idea what happened (because no one bothered to explain) but we waited over an hour without food. We paid our bill and went down the road where we had a better/faster experience. I would like to think that Volare was just having a bad night but I have since learned that isn't true. In addition to paying for the bill (despite the inconveniences), we weren't given an explanation on what happened. Worst of all, we weren't given an apology. We were very patient and didn't get any grace in return. Based off the complaints about the food in their reviews, it's probably best that we didn't eat. read more

Food was ok, service was terrible. Was not offered another glass of wine. They have a bunch of kids hanging around and only one actually working. Do they have a manager? read more

Food is a bit expensive for the quality they serve. I do not mind paying higher prices but I expect the quality to be there also. I had ordered spaghetti and meatballs and it was very average. The meatballs were not very good. I think it was not cooked throughly. read more

Doesn't look like much but me & my boyfriend went in for a late lunch on my birthday. Pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious. We had the eggplant appetizer, very juicy and tasty. I had the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, LOVED it, and my boyfriend had the lasagna, equally fantastic. Service was a lil' bland but I didn't care, honestly, the waiter was a soft spoken older man. The food is 100% worth it. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Absolutely love the fact that they offer provolone! Easily one my top 3 pizzas in SATX. We get it every Tuesday and it never disappoints.

Is it too much to expect exceptional service from a small neighborhood restaurant? Also, the prices are way too high for simple dinners. There is no way that this place will last unless the prices are adjusted. I guarantee that the "word of mouth" reviews that spread exponentially are keeping people away. Regarding service, it was mediocre and unremarkable. Kinda like, "oh, hi, I guess I gotta wait on you cuz you're here." Then, the special that was written on a sign out front tuned out to be a mistake and was not a special after all, which was annoying. The pizza matched the service and was not something I'd crave again. read more

Good meatballs, spaghetti and bread. My 6 yr loved her meatballs and gelato. Fast service, nice staff, and clean restaurant. Right on the corner of McCullough and Hildebrand so depending on traffic can be a little tricky to park but otherwise will definitely be back. read more

The take out is 4 star since the Volare pies are really good! We dined there for the first time and what a dreary environment, disinterested wait staff and two mishaps with cold food and the wrong order. Stick to take out until they brighten up the interior and train their waitstaff to respond to issues with concern. read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant. The pasta was over cooked. The sauces had no taste. Their chicken breast was as thin as a slice of paper and for what they charged I could have purchased and entire chicken. read more

Excellent gourmet pizza! My children & I have enjoyed there for years now. They're now adults & they take their dates there!

Visited for the first time during lunch. Service was good. Prices seem fair overall but the pizza lunch special priced at $6 is awesome! 2 slices with one topping and a salad. The creamy Italian dressing is full of Italian herbs, like an Italian ranch. The pizza crust is thin, not crunchy. Plenty of cheese. The pepperoni caused a bit of grease pooling but didn't bother me. My friends had the spaghetti and meatballs and they were delicious as well...I'm pretty picky about meatballs only eating my own or my mom's as I don't like them smushy or tough. These were meaty and large with minimal "fillers". The bread served before the meal was also delicious and homemade. read more

Our first choice restaurant for pizza. They offer nice medium-thin crust with perfect amount of chewiness. Toppings are tasty & fresh. good quality ingredients. Haven't tried their pastas yet bc pizzas are our fav. Customer service is friendly and helpful. To Go orders are ready in a very reasonable amount of time. read more

Tried this place for the first time and it was delicious! The crust on the pizza was good, and not soggy at all. The gnocchi was delicious, and their gelato was tasty and creamy! read more
